Photosynthesis Lab Report
Advanced Biology Photosynthesis Lab Report By Cheryl G11 Introduction & Background Photosynthesis is the process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy. It occurs within each chloroplast in most of the green plants, and Carbon dioxide is one of the main components of this process. Plants use photosynthesis to produce their own food (glucose), some water and the oxygen that we need. The overall balanced equation is: 12 H2O+ 6 CO2 → 6 H2O+ C6H12O6 + 6 O2 Sunlight energy Where: CO2 = carbon dioxide H2O = water Light energy is required C6H12O6 = glucose O2 = oxygen Purpose Through this experiment, we want …show more content…
Pour 100 ml into each plastic cup, then one mixes with baking soda, another one with liquid soap. Remember to label on each cup “CO2” and “ soap ”. Show in Figure 1 & 2. Figure 1. Measure the water Figure 2. Label on the cup 3. Cutting leaf disks Using a hole punch, cut 5 or more uniform leaf disks for each cup. Avoid major leaf veins. It’s better to choose the leaf that has smooth surface. See Figure 3. Figure 3. Example picture of cutting leaf disks 4. Infiltrate the leaf disks and solution into each syringes. a. Remove the piston or plunger and place the same amount of leaf disks into both syringe barrel. Replace the plunger being careful not to crush the leaf disks. Push on the plunger until only a small volume of air and leaf disk remain in the barrel. Show in Figure 4. Figure 4. Example picture of putting the disks into the syringe. b. Pull in some volume of solution from the cup into syringe. One for carbon dioxide, another one for soap. Show in Figure …show more content…
The experiment that we conducted were successful in exemplifying the effect of the presence of CO2on the rate of photosynthesis in leaf disks. As predicted, the leaf disks in the CO2 Cup were quicker to float to the top of the water. According to the data, the disks inside the CO2 Cup (higher concentration of carbon dioxide) have floated up continuously after 17 minutes, but disks in the Soap Cup (lower concentration of carbon dioxide) haven’t even started to float during the same period of time. But this doesn’t mean that the disks in the Soap Cup won’t be able to float up, they just need a lot more time to go through the photosynthesis process and then produce the

Spinach Chromatography Lab Report
1248 Words | 5 PagesThe purpose of the photosynthesis lab is to identify and observe the colors of pigments in a spinach leaf as they separate on chromatography paper. Photosynthesis is the anabolic process, or the process of making smaller particles into larger ones in metabolism, that plants use to convert reactants such as sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into products of glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of a plant cell where chlorophyll, a pigment, is used to allow the process to occur, while factors such as the amount of sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide affect how much photosynthesis occurs. Chromatography is the process of separating chemical mixtures by allowing chemicals to move over another substance (Woodford, 2017).The moving phase, or moving substance, is in one state of matter as it spreads across the stationary phase, or nonmoving substance, in another state of matter to be identified separately (Woodford, 2017). Chromatography works by adsorption, which means that as the molecules pass over the solid, the

Harvest And Fix Spheroids Research Paper
931 Words | 4 PagesMethods 1.1 Harvest and Fix Spheroids The following steps are used to harvest and fix spheroids: 1. Place a pipette tip near the bottom of the well of a spheroid-containing 96-well plate and aspirate both the medium supernatant and spheroids. Be careful to avoid touching the tip to the bottom of the well to prevent crushing the spheroids in the bottom. 2.
Germinated Peas Inspire Synthesis
412 Words | 2 PagesThe purpose of this lab was to measure the amount of CO2 gas given off by germinated peas under certain conditions of light. We conjectured that the more amount of light the peas are exposed to, the higher the respiration rate they will have. Our data supported this because it showed that the germinated peas that were exposed to light 24 hours before the experiment had a steeper slope (as seen in table 1), therefore having a greater respiration rate. The peas that were not exposed to any light 24 hours before the experiment had a reduced rate because of its lack of exposure to light. Both pea’s respiration rates showed that the more light the peas were exposed to, the greater respiration rate they would have (Figure 1).

Spinach Leaf Photosynthesis Lab Report
1169 Words | 5 PagesBecause carbon dioxide is absorbed by the plant during photosynthesis less carbon dioxide present in the chamber is a sign that photosynthesis is working. The four lights used for this experiment range across the light spectrum on both sides in order to test a wider variety of wavelengths. All lights will be placed directly on the spinach leaf at the same distance so as not to give any spinach leaf a different light intensity, which could affect the data. This experiment will be able to show which light, ranging across the light spectrum, will allow the Spinach to perform photosynthesis more efficiently.

Spinach Lab Report
547 Words | 3 PagesThe average CO2 consumption for green light was 0.00773533 ppt/min while all the other colors of light tested are equal to, or exceed 0.01651 ppt CO2 consumed per minute. Graph 1: Amount of CO2 Consumed clearly shows that photosynthesis performed most poorly under green light. Red, blue, and white light each caused more CO2 consumption than green light. Because the pigment in the green, photosynthesising chloroplasts reflects green light, there was little photosynthesis occuring while green light was being shown on spinach leaves. The green light is reflected, rather than absorbed by plants and therefore does not provide the needed sunlight energy to make photosynthesis
Photosynthesis: The Chemical Equation Of Photosynthesis
1896 Words | 8 PagesIntroduction: Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and specific types of bacteria in order to make their own food source from sunlight to chemical energy. It is mainly occurred within the leaves of the plant. The reaction requires light energy in order for it to be absorbed by chlorophyll. During the reaction carbon dioxide, water is converted into glucose and oxygen as shown below: Figure 1 (photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide into a carbohydrate) (The Chemical Equation of Photosynthesis. 2018, Accessed 16 March 2018) There are two types of photosynthetic processes; one includes oxygenic photosynthesis, which is most common and demonstrated through plants, algae and cyanobacteria while the other one is an-oxygenic photosynthesis.

484 Words | 2 PagesAccording to the group data, the hypothesis was proven correct; the leaf circles in the carbon dioxide solution surfaced more quickly than the leaf circles in the water did. This occurred because carbon dioxide is a reactant in photosynthesis, therefore the more it is present the more successful the reaction is going to
